Seasonal Activity Chart
Rainbow Trout
For Rainbow Trout near Greenwood, Minnesota, you'll want to explore the tributaries that feed into Lake Minnetonka. While the lake itself isn't ideal for rainbows, the surrounding streams offer pockets of opportunity, especially during the cooler months. Many of these streams are stocked periodically by the DNR. Spring and fall are the best times to fish, as the water temperatures are more suitable for trout activity. Look for deeper pools, undercut banks, and areas with riffles and runs. A helpful tip: Check the Minnesota DNR's stocking reports online to find out which streams have been recently stocked. Another important tip: these streams are often small and overgrown, so be prepared to navigate through dense vegetation. Waders are highly recommended. The rainbows in these streams are typically in the 8-14 inch range, providing a fun and accessible fishing experience close to the metro area. Small spinners, spoons, and artificial flies are all effective choices.
